West Gate & Blind Fortune Tellers
'Outside every gate in Jingzhou there are blind fortune tellers. This is how they make their living. They sit and wait for someone to ask them to tell their future and then they get paid. It is really sad to see them sitting there waiting everyday.'

廖墨香的关门弟子瓦房店刘文元在其书《四柱命理正源》中对一些自封为“盲派宗师”的亮子举起了正义的刀!
刘文元在书中说道:“。。。。。。。盲人算命开头几个问题算得很准,。。。。但是如果求测者继续问更多的问题,盲人的预测结论就会出错!问得越多出错就越多,这就是盲派的局限所在!”
刘文元接着说:“我认为,只要你一个“睁眼人亮子”就不要去抢盲人那点吃饭的唯一“家什”,盲人本来就不容易,好不容易学点吃饭的本领,却被我们这些睁眼人亮子给偷学!亮子们学来自己用还不要紧,可是偏偏有些不讲江湖道德的人拿来(偷来)盲人唯一依靠这些来吃饭的“断言、口诀”大肆传播于天下!还不知耻地自封为“一代盲派命理宗师”!
我看这些人不是什么“宗师”,他们是睁着眼睛的真正“盲人”!
连盲人唯一吃饭的“家什”都拿出来办班、培训敛财了,就算你们教的是真的,学员也学到了,那你们将把盲人的饭碗置于何地?盲人的未来再靠什么来吃饭?
盲人只是生理上有缺陷,但是他们的心灵是光明的!自封为“一代盲派宗师”的亮子呢,虽然他们的眼睛是睁开着的,但他内心深处永远因为敛了黑心财而受到谴责,暗无天日!”
The above passage was quoted by a chinese metaphysics blogger:
'Liu Wen Yuan, an indoor disciple of Famous chinese bazi expert Liao Mo Xiang, Daliang, wrote in his book, 'Four Pillars Life Analysis Origins' in a passage on his viewpoints of the New School of Blindman in destiny studies.
'There is nothing to envy about the blindman technique in destiny analysis though they might be extremely accurate in the intitial readings but as it goes further into the analysis, it tends to get more errors prone and this is where we can see the limitations of this technique.
However, I still feel that if you are not a handicapped person (meaning you can still learn from other traditional schools of destiny analysis), you should not compete with these people livelihoods. As a blind person, there are already hardships for them in their daily lives and it is not easy for them to earn a living and yet there are unscrupulous people who try to learn secretly from them through manipulations (The blind apprentice is under oath to pass the knowledge to the blinds only). To learn it for analysing your own destiny is still all-right but then to steal their knowledge and share it publicly by conducting courses where a fees is charged reflected that it is more of a commercial intent. In this instance, where will that leaves the blind man fortune tellers if every normal person can do their unique technique of destiny analysis after learning the so called real blindman theory even if it is the correct stolen techniques.
Although the blind people are handicapped but not so in their hearts.It is unfortunate that people who are not blind but in doing so are themselves in the Dark for not being able to See the Heavens.'

Well, I leave it to you readers to decide again on the above comments and as lately I have been busy and to make up for it, let me tell you a story about the accuracy of the fortune telling readings of blindman from a case study in :
The Diary of a Blind Man (Xu Xian Chao)
In the summer of 1993, I had just started learning destiny analysis from a blind bazi master for 2 years and while as usual making a living outside in the Blindman alley, I chanced upon a frantic looking lady. At that time, my failing eyesight could still discern shadows and colors, she looks like a normal housewife but she was very fair looking and young. She was going from one to another of the fortune tellers' stalls however, refusing to pay after the readings was done saying it was incorrect. I can feel that she has some problems from my sixth sense as it is probably to compensate for our handicap. I beckoned her over and ask her: 'Would you like me to read your future?'
She answered back with a question: 'All-right, I can give you by my birth time and you tell me what is my situation now and what is going to happen to me in the future?'
At that time, my knowledge and experience was also almost the same as with rest of them in that alley, I was unable to tell much from her birth data and was hesitant at which she can tell, she then said: 'You are also the same, I don't think you are able to read my destiny.' after which she put a token and walk off.
I have met customers who refused to pay for their readings after being done, some were out to take advantage of us blind people but apparently, this was a different case. I then as usual after the sun starts to set, went back and told my teacher, Ching Feng who is a Taoist master too. My master smiling says: 'If you see her again, you can asked her over and tell her I will give her the answers that she is looking for. But let her comes only after you have finished your work and there is nobody else in our house at that hour.' I was curious too why my master had made such an arrangement on the time as I was also anxious to find out too as nobody in our alley managed to find out her problem.
To be continued...........
For Mulberry, this is her chart and the analysis was done about 18 years ago when she was at Chinese age of 41 in 1993 Gui You Year and still in Wu Wu luck pillar :
Till-then, cheers.
